Ericeira is one of the best places to learn to surf. The variety of beaches allows beginner lessons in nearly all conditions.

Especially in winter and early spring or late autumn when big swells hit the Atlantic coast, Peniche offers more wind shelter with beaches facing different directions. On the other hand Ericeira has the advantage of being closer to the South coast of Lisbon, where you can find good surf when the Atlantic coast is blown out.

But Peniche and Ericeira are both very good places to surf! Peniche has bigger beaches, but the small beaches of Ericeira have more charm. Also the village itself is much nicer than Peniche. Peniche is more of an industrial village (with the smells) while Ericeira remains a traditional fishing ...
